    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 97-7381

    JAMES LEONARD ASH,


    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    LIEUTENANT OVERBY; W. J. TOWNLEY, Superintendent; W. P. ROGERS, Regional Director,
    Defendants - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District
    Judge. (CA-97-747-2)
    Submitted:

    December 11, 1997

    Decided:

    December 31, 1997

    Before HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior


    District Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    James Leonard Ash, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court's
    order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) complaint under
    28 U.S.C.A. 1915A (West Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record
    and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
    district court. Ash v. Overby, No. CA-97-747-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 18,
    1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
    contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
    court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    DISMISSED
